Information from Snyder's book

I've incorporated the many valuable insights from Timothy Snyder's book. Orczar (talk) 14:45, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lithuanian speaking Lithuanians

I wonder if scholars have produced a map of Lithuanian-speaking areas at the time of the smallest geographical distribution of spoken Lithuanian dialects, may be mid-19th century or something like that. It would be instructive to see what the starting point of the national revival was. Orczar (talk) 16:26, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Krzysztof Buchowski gives the following information, speaking of the interwar period and of the entire Vilnius Region: "In the near-Vilnius villages the Polish language dominated. Except that this was a fresh Polish, gradually established from the end of the 19th century, at the expense of the Lithuanian and Belarusian languages." This late advance of Polish, Polonization of the local populations, complicates the issue of the demographic/linguistic distribution. Orczar (talk) 15:43, 11 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Map

Lithuanian territorial issues 1939–40 needs key or at least an explanation, in the caption, of the colors. Sca (talk) 15:28, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Klaipėda region

...with its Lithuanian majority.

From Klaipėda region:

A Lithuanian census carried out in the region in 1925 found its total population was 141,000. Declared language was used to classify the inhabitants, and on this basis 43.5 percent were German, 27.6 percent were Lithuanian, and 25.2 percent were "Klaipėdan" (Memelländisch). Other sources give the interwar ethnic composition as 41.9 percent German, 27.1 percent Memelländisch and 26.6 percent Lithuanian.

Population	German	Memelländisch		Lithuanian	other
141,645	41.9%	27.1%		26.6%	4.4%

Therefore, above clause has been changed to ...with its large Lithuanian minority, and the exaggerated, POV map "Lithuanian-speaking areas in the 16th century" (which cites no sources) deleted. Sca (talk) 22:30, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox in the 1918-1940 period

I think we should add one because people could see info about that period easier in the infobox. There is no problem if it is the same republic as the current one! For example, take a look at the Afghanistan 1996-2001 page! It's the same emirate as the current one, and there it not seems to be a problem! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.25.122.234 (talk) 13:12, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
